We are St Raphael Wellness Centre (SRWC) a non-profit, charitable organisation based in Winnipeg serving the needs of individuals and families affected by addiction.
From our beginnings in the early 1970s as a small church-based addictions support service, we grew into a helping agency that, in the early 1990s sought to introduce European-influenced housing and addiction treatment to Winnipeg. Since then we have re-focused on meeting the needs of those in pre- and post-treatment.
While our history has informed our holistic approach to addictions recovery—we believe that personal spirituality is one of many areas that are included in well-balanced living—our programs are not faith-based and we welcome Participants from all cultural and religious backgrounds.
